GTO and 3000GT Genuine Gates Timing Belt All Years

Controlling the timing of the engines valves, the Timing Belt (cam belt) is responsible for matching the speed of the crankshaft.

It is essential that timing belts are changed at certain 56,000 miles or 5 years whichever is sooner intervals. Leaving it too late, and you run the risk of the belt snapping, which can potentially cause severe engine damage costing hundreds to fix.

When changing a timing belt, it is vital that the tension is set up correctly as stated by your manufacturer. Setting up the belt too tight can cause strain on other parts of the engine, whilst a lose belt can cause mistiming and valve damafe.
